Review #189: Medley Barrel Proof Beastmasters Club Pick

I’ve been a big fan of the Russell’s Reserve, Four Roses and Smoke Wagon picks from Beastmasters Club so when they released a new aged stated, barrel proof pick I figured it would be good too. Then after I had ordered I realized it was from the folks behind Wathens…

Medley Barrel Proof Beastmasters Club pick

Neat

Taste: Hotter than the nose with lots of cinnamon, some baking spice and fainter nutty and sweet notes that are hard to place with all the heat. Great mouthfeel though.

Finish: Short and hot with cinnamon and a bit of oak

Conclusion

Well that was disappointing. This was a good lesson to not blindly trust a pick group when they release something obscure just because you’ve liked their previous picks. After this I’ll still be grabbing Wild Turkey, Four Roses and MGP picks from Beastmasters but I’ll be passing on the weird stuff.
